"November came and went..."

 I knew it got too quite in there.

 Oh, my heart.  

 A typical morning for me

 This is what a mom sick day looks like.

Pool Day...

Can you tell it was a pool day?

Summer Bucket list 2012

Our family sat down one summer's eve night and drafted the Walker's Summer Bucket list 2012.  It is beautiful to behold.

 

We have since gone back and ratified the document and after it was debated and voted upon it went into effect immediately. 

First order of business, "Real" bowling.  Let me explain.  Caroline has grown to love Wii bowling.  When she is in charge of the activity for FHE she chooses bowling every time.  We took her bowling one Saturday after she finished her chores and she loved it.  So now to distinguish the two she calls going to the bowling ally "Real" bowling. 

 

Of course she chooses a pink ball every time.  She also goes back and forth between using the ramp and just rolling the ball.  Either way she just jumps up and down while the bowl S-L-O-W-L-Y makes its way to the pins.  

Another Bucket List item that has lots of check marks beside it is the pool!  We bought a summer pass to Bur-Mil and while we don't love the long drive out there we love the slides, whirlpool, and zero entry.  

My Brynn Bug is going to give me a heart attack before the summer is over.  She has not an ounce of fear in her.  She will stand on the sides of the pool, barely wait for me to get into position and then just jump right in.  She loves to go underwater and loves the Tot slide. 

My little fish...

I have learned with Caroline I need to put her sunscreen on in the parking lot and get her ready before we walk in.  Once she is in she is gone!  We are signing her up for swim lessons next week.  She is a great swimmer with her float on but I am ready for her to get to the next level.

 I cleaned out my closet.  Yikes!  Some of this stuff I have had since high school. 

 The view from the front seat.  (And yes I was at a stoplight when I took this.  Don't give me that look.)

 Caroline and I went on a mama-squirrel date.  We tried on JLo glasses.  Don't be fooled by the rocks that we got...

 

And ate cookies at Panera

 Azalea Festival.  These girls just can't hang

I know, right?

Instant...

Are you on Instagram? Well, you should be.

Here is what we have been up to lately...

Picking up Caroline from school is hard work.

Eating a Chocolate Chip cookie from the Target cafe never hurt anybody.

I am MAD for this girls.

Do: Drive to Wilmington and head straight to PTs Grill. Don't: Eat breakfast that morning. You will need the extra space.

We have a new family tradition. We go to Biscuitville every Saturday morning for pancakes. LOVE!!

I am kind of obsessed with clouds right now.

Caroline informed me on the way to school one day that she wanted to get her haircut after school, she wanted to go to the Great Clips by the pizza place and she wanted it cut to her shoulders. I then asked her what she had in mind for fixing the global economy by the year 2015.

We have been outside A LOT lately. I found some finger paint at Target for $5 (can that store do no wrong?) and let Caroline loose on a paper bag.
